At the Hugh Hodgson School of Music, we are driven by a passion for excellence and a commitment to the transformative power of music. Aligned with UGA’s mission of teaching, research, and service, we strive to:

• Educate and empower students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, preparing them for vibrant careers in performance, scholarship, composition, and music education or therapy. We provide a rich liberal arts context, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to grow as both an artist and a think, and we welcome all members of the UGA community to experience the joy and inspiration of musical performance.
• Advance knowledge and creativity through research, scholarship, performance, and composition, contributing to the global understanding and appreciation of music.
• Enrich our communities by offering educational programs for professionals and enthusiasts alike, and by sharing the profound impact of music with UGA and the public through performances and presentations that uplift, inspire, and connect.

Your support makes this mission possible. Gifts to the Hugh Hodgson School of Music Enhancement Fund help ensure our students, faculty, and programs continue to thrive and inspire the world through music.
